The great inland city of America now
comes to the front with its fifteenth consec-
utive annual interstate exhibition of the
products of science, industry and art, open
ing Wednesday, Sept. eth. ana closing Satur-
day, Oct. 22d.
The mammoth building is now crowded
with exhibits from almost every part of the
civilized world. illustrating every department
of human activity, with its latest and best
products. 1t is impossible to do this great
collection justice by noticing it in detail. In
some important respects it has never been
equaled at any temporary exhibition, and
in scarcely any respect has it ever been ex-
celled. All railway and transportation lines
give reduced rates to visitors, and there is
every indication that the usual attendance of
about 100000 will be well nigh doubled. 1t
certainly will be if the intelligent enterpris-
ing, well-todo people of the Northwest
properly appreciate the opportunity it affords.
